The Worcester County Bar Association held its annual holiday reception last month at the AC Marriott in Worcester, where members celebrated the career and service of longtime Executive Director Sandra DiLuzio, who retired on Dec. 31. DiLuzio spent her entire 43-year career at the WCBA and served as its executive director for the last 33. During her tenure, the WCBA was widely recognized as one of the most active and collegial bar associations in Massachusetts, according to President Ryan P. Avery.
